Chapter 790: Alang, can you forgive Master’s Wife?

Lin Lang supported the trembling Zhuang Jingxue and said in a voice as low as if immersed in ice water: "Master's wife, don't worry. My sect and I share a common interest and will not allow anyone to destroy your and Master's reputation."

Zhuang Jingxue lowered her eyes to avoid Lin Lang's gaze. She was sure that Lin Lang really knew about her and Xu Wenkang's scandal. She couldn't help but grab Lin Lang's hand and said, "Ah Lang, you must keep this secret for Master's Wife. You must not let Meng Yao know."

"Don't worry, Master's wife. I am a tight-lipped person. I will not tell her about this kind of thing that will affect your good image in Mengyao's mind."

Zhuang Jingxue, whose face turned pale, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although she covered her mouth and nose, she was still choked by the fumes of sulfuric acid in the ward and kept coughing.

"Master's wife, let me help you out first."

Lin Lang supported Zhuang Jingxue, whose legs were weak from fear, and walked quickly out of the ward.

Zhuang Jingxue took a look at Xu Wenkang, who was lying on the ground and died of burns and suffocation from concentrated sulfuric acid, with her courage. She was so scared that she trembled all over. The bloody scene made her feel horrified.

Lin Lang could feel Zhuang Jingxue's fear. He put one hand around Zhuang Jingxue's shoulders and the other hand on her arm, and helped Zhuang Jingxue walk out of the ward steadily.

Outside the ward, the same acid mist mixed with the smell of blood was blowing in the face. The bodyguard Chen Yong, who was lying in the corner, was curled up and twitching, half of his face was burned by the acid, and he was screaming indistinctly.

Zhuang Jingxue was horrified and said with red eyes: "Alang, bodyguard Chen Yong has followed your master for ten years. Now he is seriously injured in order to protect me. No matter how much it costs, you must help me find a way to heal his injuries."

"Okay, Master's wife, our Lin family has an ancestral plaster that is specifically used to treat burns. Once the bodyguard's condition stabilizes, I will use this ancestral plaster to heal his scars from sulfuric acid burns."

Zhuang Jingxue exclaimed after hearing this: "Really?"

Lin Lang, who possessed the skill [Healing Hands], lied, “Of course it’s true. When have I ever boasted in front of Master’s Wife?”

"Alang, Master's Wife believes in you, so I can only ask for your help!"

Without letting Zhuang Jingxue and Lin Lang say anything, the medical staff came forward and asked with concern, "Director Zhuang, are you okay?"

"Dean Zhuang, are you injured?"

Zhuang Jingxue pretended to be calm and replied, "I'm fine. Call the police immediately and send the injured to the burn department for emergency treatment."

"Yes." The head nurse quickly took out her cell phone and called the police.

The rest of the medical staff immediately followed Zhuang Jingxue's instructions and rushed the bodyguard Chen Yong, who was burned by sulfuric acid, to the emergency room of the burn department.

Upon hearing the news, more and more patients' relatives came out of the ward to watch the excitement, and the people who gathered to watch were talking about it.

"Master's wife, I will take you to the doctor's office to calm down. There are many people at the crime scene, so it is not advisable to stay there for long."

Zhuang Jingxue glanced at the crowd of onlookers in the corridor and quickly replied with one word, "Okay."

Soon, Lin Lang helped Zhuang Jingxue to the doctor's duty office.

Only Lin Lang and Zhuang Jingxue were in the room.

Lin Lang first helped Zhuang Jingxue sit on a chair, and then used a disposable paper cup to pour her a cup of warm water from the water dispenser.

"Master's wife, drink some water to calm your nerves."

Zhuang Jingxue raised her slightly trembling right hand, took the paper cup from Lin Lang's hand, and drank a few sips of water in panic, with the thrilling scene still in her mind.

"Alang, thank you for saving my master's wife's life again at the critical moment!" Zhuang Jingxue looked at Lin Lang with gratitude in her eyes.

Lin Lang replied: "We are a family, Master's wife, there is no need to thank you."

Zhuang Jingxue's body was still trembling, and she said with lingering fear: "Alang, you are the noble of the Zhou family. Fortunately, you are here!"

Lin Lang warned: "Master's Wife, when the police arrive, you will know what to say when they take your statement, right?"

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Jingxue looked horrified.

Lin Lang replied: "The police will definitely investigate Xu Wenkang's motive for committing the crime. As long as you never mention that you and Xu Wenkang were lovers, it will be fine. After all, Xu Wenkang is dead. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, no one will know about you and Xu Wenkang."

Zhuang Jingxue nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked tentatively: "Alang, how did you know that Dr. Xu and I were lovers?"

Lin Lang took out several indecent photos from his personal space and handed them to Zhuang Jingxue. Those were the photos that Lin Lang's clone had secretly taken of Zhuang Jingxue and Xu Wenkang having an affair.

Zhuang Jingxue took a look at the indecent photos of herself and was immediately shocked. She looked at Lin Lang in panic and asked, "Ah Lang, why do you have these photos in your hands?"

Lin Lang lied, "This is the blackmail photo I received this morning. It must have been sent to me by Xu Wenkang in order to extort money. Just now, before I could figure out how to talk to you about this, Xu Wenkang broke into the ward and committed the crime."

Zhuang Jingxue panicked after hearing this, and the water in the disposable paper cup spilled out. She stood up hastily, took Lin Lang's hand and said, "Ah Lang, these photos must not be leaked out, otherwise my reputation will be ruined."

"Master's wife, don't be afraid. I won't let your indecent photos leak."

Zhuang Jingxue nervously asked, "Alang, how many indecent photos of me do you have? Give them to me quickly, and I will destroy them all."

In fact, Lin Lang had many more in his personal space, but he lied and said, "No more, just these few."

Zhuang Jingxue was skeptical of Lin Lang's answer, but she couldn't show that she was worried that Lin Lang might have something to hold against her. She could only appeal to his emotions, tightly grasping Lin Lang's hand and saying, "Ah Lang, Master's Wife believes in you. From now on, Mengyao and I will all rely on you."

"Please rest assured, Master's wife. Your reputation is related to the reputation of my master's school. I will always keep this secret for you and protect your reputation and image."

Zhuang Jingxue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She looked at Lin Lang with a somewhat shameful look and asked, "Ah Lang, now that you know about Master's wife's scandal, you don't think I'm a slut, do you?"

Lin Lang looked at Zhuang Jingxue with complicated eyes, and replied with understanding: "Master's Wife, how dare I think so! Everyone makes mistakes, and I believe you must have your own difficulties."

"I will pretend I didn't see anything about this and I won't say a word to anyone. Don't take it too seriously."

Lin Lang's answer first showed that he did not look down on Zhuang Jingxue. He then emphasized that people make mistakes and believed that she had her own difficulties. He also promised to keep it confidential, which not only saved face for Zhuang Jingxue but also expressed his attitude.

After hearing this, Zhuang Jingxue said, "Alang, it's great that you can understand Master's Wife."

"Your master has been playing with women since he was young. His health has been poor since he reached middle age. He can only take Viagra to have sex with other women."

"He can't get interested in me even if he takes Viagra, and she hasn't touched me for many years."

"I am also a normal woman. I also have repressed desires. I am depressed!"

"Perhaps it was because I was too lonely to bear it, so I cheated on your master. I didn't expect that the short-lived passion and happiness would sow the seeds of such a huge disaster."

"Alang, can you forgive Master's wife for the ridiculous thing she did this time?" Zhuang Jingxue shed tears of regret, as if she was choked with countless grievances.

Lin Lang lent his shoulder to Zhuang Jingxue to lean on, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't cry, Master's wife. We are all mortals with emotions and desires. I will not blackmail or condemn you."

The master's wife raised her head slightly, her eyes full of gratitude and a little embarrassment, and said in a tearful voice: "Alang, fortunately you understand me. I was just confused for a moment... You saying this really makes me feel much better."

"From now on, Master's wife will keep herself clean and will never do such a thing again to bring shame to you and Mengyao."

Lin Lang hurriedly said, "Master's Wife, please don't say that. Xu Wenkang's matter is over. Mengyao and I, as a family of three, will live a good life in the future. That's more important than anything else."

Lin Lang's answer not only affirmed Zhuang Jingxue's determination to mend her ways, but also expressed with comforting words that things could pass. This made Zhuang Jingxue feel supported and tolerated, and immediately eased the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Zhuang Jingxue hugged Lin Lang and cried with a choked voice: "A Lang, don't say anything. From now on, you are the backbone of Master's Wife and Meng Yao. Master's Wife will discuss everything with you in the future."

"Don't cry, Master's wife, let's understand and tolerate each other as a family!"

After Zhuang Jingxue cried on Lin Lang's shoulder for a while, her emotions finally calmed down a little and she slowly let go of Lin Lang.

Lin Lang took out a few tissues from the tissue box on the doctor's desk and handed them to Zhuang Jingxue to wipe her tears. He gently comforted her, "Master's wife, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. Please adjust your mood. The police will be here soon."

"Yeah." Zhuang Jingxue nodded with tears in her eyes.

At the same time, Zhou Mengyao and Mu Xueman went to the hospital's inpatient department together to complete the discharge procedures for their mother Zhuang Jingxue and pick up their mother from the hospital.

When the two best friends walked into the corridor of Zhuang Jingxue's ward, they saw the hallway was crowded with onlookers whispering to each other.

"Mengyao, so many people are standing outside my aunt's ward, watching the excitement. Could something have happened?"

Zhou Mengyao saw the hospital security guards maintaining order at the door of her mother's ward. Her heart suddenly jumped to her throat. She staggered through the crowd and rushed forward: "Make way! My mother is in the ward! What's going on?"

A family member of a patient poked his head in and said, "I heard someone just threw sulfuric acid at someone and killed someone. One person died in the ward and the bodyguard guarding the door was also injured by the sulfuric acid."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao's face turned pale and she rushed towards the ward, but was stopped by the security guard who was maintaining order at the scene.

"I'm sorry, this is a crime scene. You can't go in until the police arrive to investigate the crime scene."

Zhou Mengyao's eyes were red with anxiety. She pushed the security guard and said, "This is my mother's ward. My mother is Vice President Zhuang of your hospital. Is she okay?"

Another security guard quickly said, "Oh, it turns out to be Vice President Zhuang's daughter. Vice President Zhuang was just a little frightened and is currently in the duty room."

Zhou Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but her legs went limp due to excessive nervousness and she almost fell to the ground. Mu Xuelan behind her hurriedly supported her.

"Are you okay, Mengyao?"

"I'm fine, Xueman, come with me to the doctor's duty room to see my mother." Zhou Mengyao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stumbled towards the duty room, her hair forming messy arcs in the wind.

Mu Xuelan accompanied Zhou Mengyao and ran into the doctor's duty room.

Lin Lang was standing by the window making a phone call, while Zhuang Jingxue was sitting on a chair, wiping her tears with a crumpled tissue in her hand, her shoulders still shaking slightly.

The moment Zhou Mengyao pushed open the door, Zhuang Jingxue looked up and her eyes met her daughter's red eyes. She suddenly covered her mouth and let out a suppressed sob.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Zhou Mengyao rushed over and hugged her mother, tears falling on the back of Zhuang Jingxue's hand, "I was scared to death... They said someone poured sulfuric acid in your ward..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhuang Jingxue hugged Zhou Mengyao back tremblingly, patting her back, comforting her again and again.

Lin Lang hung up the phone and turned around, his eyes met with Mu Xueman's nervous expression. Everything was said without words. People in love can understand each other with just a glance.
